The series is a thrill. And the plot is good, and the editing is dynamic)

29 Jan 2025, 14:06 #

The series is in the best traditions of Agatha Christie, it was interesting to guess who from the family was the culprit ~

29 Jan 2025, 18:45 #

@Sen13: exactly! my first association was to Get Knives)), but there's a clear reference to Agatha Christie, so that's the point))))))))

29 Jan 2025, 19:19 #

@cabaret_boy: it means there really is something, since I'm not the only one who has such associations, and I love "Getting knives" because of this ~

@Sen13: It doesn't reach Agatha. The first series were nothing like that, but the further it goes, the more degraded it gets. It's a pity, they'll merge such an interesting idea...

29 Jan 2025, 19:46 #

Such a cool episode, I didn't notice how it ended! ❤

29 Jan 2025, 20:33 #

"Morgan Guillory, LAPD!"
The series is gorgeous, it reminded me of the very first one and all that delight from it! Especially the scene with the analysis of evidence in the case between the house cleaning)
A very, very cool character, her brain can't calm down until it solves the riddle, and plus she's very willing to help people, there were some touching scenes on the series. But the chief of police thinks only about the image.
I was also very reminded of the movie "Get Knives")

The good old chamber detective 👍

What about Roman?! Apparently , this topic was left for the last episode .

@Kseniasays: The last episode of the third season

What a sweet ending) We are given a sooo slow but developing relationship between Adam and Morgan

31 Jan 2025, 22:35 #

@Natashakulikova: I really like that their relationship is built on the basis of recognition of each other and mutual respect, and not in three days on the background of passion. There's not enough of that in the movies

01 Feb 2025, 19:11 #

@Natashakulikova: I also like this development of their relationship)

01 Feb 2025, 12:22 #

Police badge on pink... 😏

01 Feb 2025, 14:22 #

@Hidji: I took it and pierced her trigger!

01 Feb 2025, 15:45 #

@Kentavr: And with her OCD, she could have slapped😆

01 Feb 2025, 14:23 #

Dr. Hodgins! I didn't even recognize him right away.

01 Feb 2025, 20:39 #

@Kentavr: I didn't find out, I reviewed it after your comment

03 Feb 2025, 13:13 #

@Kentavr: Oh, right! Thank you!

15 Mar 2025, 06:15 #

@Kentavr: The king of the laboratory!

01 Feb 2025, 15:31 #

From the very beginning, I realized who the killer was, when the man exclaimed "grandpa", it was obvious that he was taking the blame on himself.

01 Feb 2025, 19:32 #

In general, I really like this format. Please advise me on something similar (I watched The Afterparty and Get Knives, and I also watched the film adaptations based on Agatha Christie).

01 Feb 2025, 21:16 #

@hey_seattle: Elsbeth look at this

01 Feb 2025, 22:17 #

@hey_seattle: The mentalist. White collar. Psych. Castle. Dice

01 Feb 2025, 22:28 #

@hey_seattle: Risolli and Isles are also advised above)

02 Feb 2025, 02:19 #

@hey_seattle: Plus Castle and the White Collar. It's also elementary and emotional

02 Feb 2025, 02:32 #

@hey_seattle: I meant, like in the afterparty series, there are two seasons in this style - I really liked it.

05 Feb 2025, 17:58 #

@hey_seattle: We probably watched it, but I'll write just in case. For me personally, the series "The Afterparty" is similar to the movie "Homecoming" (2024) with Nina Dobrev, Chase Crawford, etc.

05 Feb 2025, 18:28 #

@L2025: "Head" (2020), about an investigation at a research station. "Murder at the Edge of the World" (2023), about an investigation in the mansion of a reclusive billionaire. We recently filmed the TV series Dead End (2025), about an investigation in a hotel

05 Feb 2025, 19:25 #

@L2025: fire, thank you!

05 Feb 2025, 19:32 #

@hey_seattle: You're welcome! I love detective series myself.

04 Aug 2025, 18:57 #

@hey_seattle: They probably watched it. This year, the series "Residence" was released. Similar to "The Afterparty". A brilliant but eccentric detective has to solve a murder that occurred during an official reception at the White House. All guests and staff are under suspicion.

05 Aug 2025, 23:10 #

@L2025: Yeah, I did, but thanks for remembering me!)

06 Aug 2025, 18:17 #

@hey_seattle: You're welcome) I remember that we like detective series (chamber ones). Now, as soon as I watch such series, I immediately write here)

01 Feb 2025, 22:49 #

An investigation into the events of 10 years ago? Interesting. The series is good

03 Feb 2025, 20:07 #

It always amazes me with this cinematic move that ABSOLUTELY ALL the CHARACTERS in the investigations of 10-20 years ago thoroughly remember what happened, how many people were in the room, AND EVEN THAT THE TV WAS WORKING IN ANOTHER ROOM WHILE THEY WERE PLAYING - well, kamon, you wouldn't remember what 10 years later about the TV)

09 Feb 2025, 08:50 #

@christinapirs: there are such events in life that leave a mark) moreover, they were thoroughly interrogated 10 years ago immediately after the crime)

03 Feb 2025, 20:14 #

No one has changed the sockets in 10 years.

03 Feb 2025, 22:27 #

The pathologist couldn't determine death from electricity, the kid couldn't change two sockets and clean the ends in 10 years, and even so there was no evidence, in the end he just had to confess to complete the plot.

04 Feb 2025, 00:10 #

@Slimov: but they don't perform an autopsy unless the body is recognized as criminal. Well, at least there are suspicions. This is mandatory for us. So maybe they wrote a heart attack and all during the examination... That's right, in the order of the version. But with sockets, yes, you need to clean up after yourself. The kid seemed like a smart character, but clearly not).

04 Feb 2025, 01:55 #

@Hidji: We do not perform an autopsy if you were hospitalized before your death and you passed away in the hospital. But if you died at home in your favorite crib, then an autopsy is required and it is planned, as a rule, not on the first or second day. And despite all the differences in their attitude to faith, for some reason people follow the canonical interpretation and try to adhere to it. In any case, "planned", as a rule, goes against canonical concepts. But money fixes everything. You have to pay to be within the confines of this denomination. Such moments are very sad and this state of affairs only causes aggression from the relatives who are accompanying them.
Patience to all and peace ✌️

04 Feb 2025, 02:00 #

@UTKA_BLACK: But to be fair, it is our approach with the mandatory procedure that often does not allow room for frauds with passing off violent death as natural. Well, if there is no place for negligence and corruption, of course😏

04 Feb 2025, 02:12 #

@Hidji: this is undoubtedly how it should work. But for people who have not accepted the death of loved ones, this is a traumatic experience. They're like blind people and you have to lead them by the hand. I came across such stories, and in the end, certain words helped, because I knew these people and was with them to the end. With a word you can kill, with a word you can save, with a word you can lead the shelves....

04 Feb 2025, 06:36 #

@Hidji: It feels like you watched the episode more in the background than I did. Why is it not recognized as criminal if it was investigated as murder?
Or did they think that he had twisted his neck in the sauna, sat down and burned out?)))
They went on to investigate because the autopsy revealed a broken neck.

04 Feb 2025, 07:23 #

@Slimov: Yes, I watched it on Saturday and it was a busy day, I was distracted several times in the first half of the episode. So he could have missed a lot, including phrases about the autopsy.

04 Feb 2025, 10:37 #

@UTKA_BLACK: a friend's grandfather died not so long ago, alone at home. The circumstances were straining + even before the police arrived, the relatives trampled the whole house in search of goodness. They refused an autopsy and buried it just like that, and no one investigated anything. It's probably not that necessary.

04 Feb 2025, 01:45 #

@Slimov: Of course, the criminal returns to the crime scene. But he was there all the time before and after. And having deceived the system once and then again, the grandfather confessed.. He didn't even care about the sockets.. He was tormented by the ghosts of what he had done, he says that everything had changed and the whole story weighed on him.…
It's kind of weird, but that's how it happens in life.. logic smokes quietly on the sidelines, as with crimes and their investigation ... and I'll say it in the words of the original source - C'est la vie! ✌️

04 Feb 2025, 06:41 #

he changes the sockets at a place that is not recognized as a crime scene, but does not completely change them, but hammers the bolt, well, the logic smokes with the scriptwriters and this is bad.
And he kept pushing, but he didn't confess for 10 years, which means he clearly wanted to avoid punishment, and this is just logical.

04 Feb 2025, 10:54 #

The criminal twist itself is good. But it feels like a piece of candy has been smeared with shit.
Again, those catchphrases that in every episode are given out by heroes with a pretentious face.
I'm sure the captain has had a lot of unsolved cases throughout her career, but is THIS what she's worried about? Not a child abduction there, or something offensively sexist/racist. It's just that a guy was thrown down the stairs, there are suspects, but it's bothering her? The owl was pulled onto the globe.
And this is a tradition when, after closing a case, you need to say something life-affirming. Seriously, cut it out.
It feels like I'm watching a pilot every time. In the first episode, this is also cringe-worthy, but still excusable. The season is coming to an end, and they still have the same song. I hope they'll take it seriously in the second season.

05 Feb 2025, 21:04 #

I like this series more and more with each episode.

05 Feb 2025, 23:26 #

A good series, dynamic
I like stories in the spirit of Agatha Christie, lots of suspects, family and home
Adore

The King of the Laboratory!

19 Feb 2025, 18:29 #

I just HEARD that the last name of the main character is Morgan))) iykyk)))

21 Feb 2025, 21:18 #

It's a very cool and interesting series. But it's a little weird with the sockets, didn't anyone notice that the other sockets were covered with wallpaper, but this one wasn't 🤔

09 Mar 2025, 21:46 #

Bl! So all these years she was worried about the case of some murdered man, and not something more serious?
Well done, they solved the murder of an abuser and imprisoned a guy who just wanted to protect his mother. He didn't have to admit it, they would have proved something. It's a dumb episode, with moronic morals.

30 Jul 2025, 23:14 #

Wow, Keith Davis is here, the real boss is a nigga

02 Aug 2025, 22:37 #

Everyone writes about how the relationship between the main characters begins. Damn, I don't see any chemistry between them at all. That's how it sparkled, there was attraction, tension and awkwardness, While they seem to me like workmates who rub up against each other.

03 Aug 2025, 05:08 #

@Koralain: In the French version, these characters were brought together, so I hope that they will be brought together in this version. There's a great hint in episode 13 that they have a chance at a relationship. When Morgan entered the hall in a beautiful dress, Adam was taken aback, and how they danced, what a cute couple!

03 Aug 2025, 11:05 #

@L2025: yes and no) plot-wise, yes, there are hints.... but between the way the actors act out these nascent sparks and hints - here, kmk, it's not enough. Probably, if they had clashed behind the scenes, like Fillion and Katic :-), it would have been more plausible.... but this is a purely subjective opinion)

03 Aug 2025, 16:10 #

@cabaret_boy: I agree with that, they don't have a strong spark yet. And in the French version, it seems to me, there was no spark: just looks, smiles, caring for each other — love that originated on the basis of friendship. And there were practically no romantic episodes. Morgan and Adam infuriate each other and even still infuriate each other in season 5. They annoy each other with their behavior from time to time. But they still love and care for each other. And in this version they repeat after the original. I hope they will move away from the original and stop copying.

Who else laughed at Selena's statement that her aunt was a nurse?)

25 Oct 2025, 17:46 #

A great series, in the spirit of classic novels.

14 Mar 09:49 #

The episode was just like Agatha Christie's "Get Knives" (there is another movie that came out very successful, I advise you to watch it). It seems that every episode is a reference to something, especially this one.
The episode is awesome: 15 years have passed, and only now have they been able to solve the case. Apparently, there was no way without Morgan, before that, Google was the only assistant. 😂
From the very beginning, you could guess who the killer was. It's strange that no repairs have been done in 15 years...🙃
A police badge on a pink cardigan — well, style!🫦
